interesting picture here for sure

hahaha now I totally understand our convo from the other day in the perspective of this, we are in a few places at once, but perhaps experimenting with ambient is also important. there is something interesting about it, even just doing different things with people at the same time, but knowing they are there

arena is an interesting word here

yeah definitely this is very important, want balance in this certainly. designing for this is going to be interesting

thinking about downsides of too much mutual need as well (in some circumstances this seems bad, individual unable to operate independently... well is this important? what does important mean?)

definitely seems like some more group get togethers irl or digital would be fun to build trust

what is nearness in Relationship OS?

oh shit yo, reading this 🤯

helped me understand why some previous relationships always felt wrong, felt like hiding parts of myself, or deeply caring about something and disinterest. feels bad and definitely breaks down that trust, something definitely to be aware of. really glad you phrased it this way in this context, super awesome. helps also to show the strength of some friendships as well. this one hit deep

I think this is a very important question. Also what is meant as the 'real world' here? Is it just physical?

To me It begins to tug at something more fundamental. I think it is also related to how much of the 'real world' is actually going to be digital? As a very physical minded person this is quite conflicting.

side-note: describing this to a new friend (who is CS), he mentioned the basis of this sounds like bridging the gap between tech today and when we might have chips in our brains (explore?? too far out??)

💯🙌🏽

could this lead into the anti-pattern of anonymity? perhaps want some level of participation to avoid a 'crowd' kind of thing where everyone becomes pseudoanonymous? perhaps even rooms on rooms, for meta discussions?

this is interesting to me and maybe worth exploring further. specifically it seems that life itself has infinite games modes, which gives it interest and seems to me to lead to serendipity. through connections mostly. however there are stagnant times as well, which may want to lead to increased serendipity. at what level of serendipity are we optimizing for? not sure if this makes sense.

this is a beautiful way of describing relational OS. something that resonates deeply with me, and I suspect with others as well. Everyone wants to express themselves in the best way possible and as "true" as possible, whatever that means exactly. Definitely a core motivation to me

eventually appears less random?

totally. while reading this was really thinking about water

Agree. It feels like it should be more like a dashboard or something
